Not that he couldn’t give that now but what about when he went back to his real job with Alejandro? Who would ensure that she was safe and protected? That she ate and drank and took care of herself?
“See what I mean?” She leaned back to glance up at him. “I’m messed up.”
“It’s not messed up,” he told her firmly. “It’s how you feel.”
“But it’s not normal or fair. This is real life, not some fairy tale,” she told him. “Although it’s not like Jenner wants me. Sorry, I shouldn’t have said that. That made it sound like I’ll take you because Jenner doesn’t want me. I didn’t mean it like that. I meant that I don’t know why I’m angsting over him when he doesn’t want me.”
Fuck.
Was this a test?
It had to be a test, because he knew that he could sway her right now into his arms. And that he could put a wedge between her and Jenner.
He opened his mouth to do just that, then shut it again.
Fuck. It.
“Think you’re wrong about that.”
“Wrong about what?” she asked.
“Jenner wanting you.”
“I’m not. I kissed him and he pulled away from me. He avoided me for ages afterward.”
What a dumb fucking bastard. Maybe Tobias didn’t have to do anything and Jenner would create that wedge for him.
And how happy would Immy be with that?
Fuck. Was he turning into a better man? Was she changing him? He wasn’t sure how he felt about that.
“I want you, Immy. I get that you can’t commit to that right now, that you’ve got to sort out shit in your head. So all I’m asking is that you don’t say no. Not right now. See where things go.”
“Is that not . . . is that not using you?” she whispered.
God. She was too fucking sweet.
“Not if I say it isn’t.”
“It still feels wrong . . . to have feelings for two men. You are enough. It’s wrong to want more. I don’t want to hurt your feelings.”
He had to hide his smile, not wanting her to think that he was laughing at her. But he had no intention of letting her go. Ever. The only way for her to hurt him was by walking away.
And that wasn’t even an option.
“Don’t worry about that. Although I am going to want one thing right now.”
“What’s that?” she asked breathlessly as he cupped the back of her neck and leaned down so his lips were just inches from her.
He couldn’t resist kissing her. Not any longer. He’d been a fucking saint waiting for this long.
“A kiss,” he told her before his lips brushed hers.
Then her mouth parted beneath his and he took full advantage, his tongue sliding into her mouth to play with hers.
Fucking hell.
He hadn’t thought this through, had he? Because now his cock was hard and pushing against his jeans. Tobias forced himself to draw back before he took this too far.
“Wow,” she said.
There was no artifice to this girl, she didn’t play games. And he found himself smiling as he ran his thumb over her wet lips.
“Just as I thought. As sweet as candy.”
“I did okay then?” she asked shyly.
He didn’t know how much experience she had, but he was guessing not much. “Better than okay. You were perfect.”
He liked that she didn’t have much experience, it meant that he could teach her just what he liked.
Which, if they were alone, would probably involve her on her knees, sucking his dick.
“But that isn’t what we’re here for,” he said reluctantly. “There’s only one thing you need to do.”
“What’s that?” she asked.
“Trust me to take care of you. Especially to look after your Little. Have some fun right now. Can you do that?”
Immy thought about his words for a moment. She was still buzzing from that amazing kiss.
Could she do that?
She wasn’t sure. All of her thoughts were getting to her. They were overwhelming and even her handbag M&Ms were failing to cheer her up. She’d gone through three tubes in the last two days.
Jenner wouldn’t be impressed if he found out.
But he wouldn’t find out.
And what was a girl to do when he’d taken her candy jar?
She pushed thoughts of Jenner out of her head. Tobias had shown time and again that he was here for her. Sure, he was supposed to be acting as a sort of bodyguard for her, but it was more than that.
Could she let go with him?
She trusted him.
She definitely wanted him.
And she wanted this. To let her Little out. To forget about her worries for a while.
“I want to try.”
“Such a brave fucking girl.”
“You really have to do something about your swearing, though.”
“Told you. I need a subscription rate.” He booped her nose and set her on her feet. “But you are my brave girl. Do you want to go play?”
